• Delete - Purely promotional. The editor uses a similar strategy of adding regional language references so as to swindle editors as can be seen in his other articles, including his other ongoing Afd [1]. The 1st reference is to a shopping site which sells their products. The 2nd, 3rd and 7th references are to offline sources, supposedly from Mathrubhumi, though the newspaper has an online presence since 1999. The 4th reference is to Google Photos and the 5th is from their website, both of which are updated by the company themselves, and are therefore Primary Sources. The 6th reference is to a Business awards function which mainly talks about Kris Gopalakrishnan receiving the Businessman of the Year award, while also fleetingly mentioning just the names of 14 companies that received Business Excellence Awards in different sectors, including Family Plastics. The rest of the references are about the London Blasts in which a plastic container made by Family Plastics was used. This is a case of a product WP:ONEEVENT at best, and it was probably just a co-incidence that one of the terrorists chose to buy a container made by the company.

• Keep, but have a deadline to provide supporting information. Rajeshbieee, wrote: "Family Plastics is Kerala's number one manufactures of plastic products." Wikipedia's notability guidelines often poorly fit developing countries where there are not a lot of strong press outlets - including business press outlets. So even though a company may be notable, it is hard to verify in some cases. Perhaps, a second look needs to be taken in this matter. With some additional thought, perhaps in developing countries alternate criteria could be used. Dean Esmay (talk) 23:45, 14 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. There is a lack of reliable sources. Depth of coverage is missing as well. We have merely a promise of the business owner to rectify matters with the explanation that he is busy. It is up to the business owner to establish notability if he wants to have a Wikipedia article. This should be done before the article appears and not after. Wikipedian Jupitus Smart says the business owner has a pattern of submitting articles which fail to meet Wikipedia's notability requirements in relation to some other businesses. We should not wait to delete the article. This will merely serve to reward the behavior we wish to see ended.Knox490 (talk) 01:13, 16 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Purely promotional. The sales pitch included in an irrelevant mention about a decade-past bombing in London was particularly humorous. sixtynine ^{• speak up •} 22:30, 25 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Fails WP:CORP and GNG. Pure corporate advert, not one notable feature. -- HighKing⁺⁺ 18:57, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - Fails WP:GNG as I could find no significant coverage of the company in independent reliable sources. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:36, 27 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete and keep a close eye of the article's creator. He appears to be using Wikipedia as a place to get free advertising. --Guy Macon (talk) 15:43, 1 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• delete NN. Not a soapbox or a fleamarket stand. Dlohcierekim 10:16, 2 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
